This kind of thing is fine for single player games, but GW is multiplayer.

WHAT, it is ???? And to think all this time I've been finishing entire campaigns and expansions with myself and hench/heroes... save a few select missions.

If it's so serious, you shouldn't be worried about GW anymore.

+, ANet does not like bots, and this would be stupidly good with certain farms.

Better idea would be if the player leaves, his character is then controlled by a hero.

Effectively just a bot. titles become worthless.

Although I must admit it's a funny idea. Almost felt like you are suggesting a game that plays itself..

Breakfast Mc Rit · Jul 17, 2008, 02:24 PM // 14:24

LOL!

No. If some real life things come up, forget about Guild Wars and go take care of what needs to be taken care of. It's just a game, you know, the sort of thing you do in your leisure time.

R.Shayne · Jul 17, 2008, 02:30 PM // 14:30

Too much potential for abuse. A better suggestion would be if I have to quite the game the AI takes over my character and acts like a hero, that way when real life happens you leaving has less of an affect on the game, and you cant use this as a way to leech off other players since you have to leave the party.

MithranArkanere · Jul 17, 2008, 04:48 PM // 16:48

For those cases we have the /afk emote.

go uninstall please if u are gonne do a mission u check if u have time first.... /notsigned

Jetdoc · Jul 17, 2008, 04:53 PM // 16:53

I think we should take this one step further....

Why not have the option to have the game automatically log you on when you turn on your computer, select a certain character, map into a certain area, and use this PvE autopilot feature!

Man, that would be sweet...you could enjoy the game to its fullest by never having to lift a finger (other than pressing the "power on" button, but I'm sure we could find a way to automate that)! I mean, nowhere on the package does it say that you actually have to PLAY the game, does it? Why should someone else's playstyle affect my decision to play the game by not playing it?

/sarcasm off

I am hoping for something like this for gw 2

Real life does happen and when it does and I am solo or with heroes it doesnt matter in fact under those conditions a pause key would be more usefull.

With parties it's only important to preserve your rep with other live players and to have the computer take over as a bot is a fair solution.

However your account gains nothing from this by way of xp items or opened up locations etc.

If it's that important, people will understand, and those who don't are usually shouted down by those who do. I saw someone threaten to report a woman who said she had to go feed her baby just before the AB match started (her baby was crying), and the other 10 people in the team exploded with outrage and said that none of them were going to report her for leeching because, y'know, real life > game?

If you're playing solo, I don't see the problem - just go AFK.

Bowstring Badass · Jul 17, 2008, 05:04 PM // 17:04

All this would support is inhouse botting just have a guildie take you along. /notsigned for the reason stated

MagmaRed · Jul 17, 2008, 05:48 PM // 17:48

Wow.... this idea is bad enough that I'm considering the cat pictures already. Leeching made easy.

It would be way too easy for someone to abuse this feature. "Oh I'm tired of fighting in this stupid mission, this group knows what they're doing, I'll kick on autopilot and let them do it all."

Truthfully there are enough noobs in the game without adding a feature that would cause more.

auto pilot for pve? ow comon ... guildwars doesnt take that much time to play right most missions only take like 30 min or less why do you need auto pilot then?

and if you have real life issues dont play mmo's then

I am torn between thinking this is a hilarious idea and wanting to beat my head into the wall.

Closed for madness.
